Actually, I prefer the Phantom 200.
Its comfy, low enough and you can put in enough boxes to carry ALL
your barang barangs. With big enough topbox, 1 full face & 1
spare open face helmet with raincoat stuffed in. Two Side boxes can
roughly hold 2 pair of Boots, 2 x 3" arch files, 1st aid kits;
spare clothing; towels & lots more.
You of course can still bring around some cable bungy cords, netted
bungy cords for carrying stuffs at the pillion seat.
Plus, its custom made for Singapore's market so there is no worries
about theft to other country, except for maybe theft of your parts
or fuel.
If you get the 200cc wan, there is no need for 2T oil and its
petrol tank lasted a trip from Port Dickson back to Singapore on
mere 1 tank of petrol at a constant speed of 140km/hr.
Plus, the Singapore bikes forum has a group of phantom knights that
is all for helping each other on simple mods of the bike.
You can always join them on any of their DIY sessions, learn how to
install or rewire your lights to include in a Hazard lights
function and they are often going on trips to malaysia in that big
group.
If I am not wrong, there is currently a group of Phantoms going up
to Melacca this coming Sat with some ST1100s as guides, marshalls,
sweeper & others generally making new friends here and
there.
